Director’s Report

Profit and Loss

Balance Sheet

Sample News Letter

• This newsletter will become a static link on the website but will also go out as part of an email campaign.

Marketing Plan

• A general consensus among board members is that we absolutely need to identify several basics before we can start making decisions on spending dollars for marketing and advertising. For example, we should identify our target audience so that we can be smart about reaching out to them.

Old business

• Tabled from last meeting:
  • How do we combat systemic racism within our org and the wider community?
    • Should we engage another consultant for this work?
    • E.D. said that he will reach out one more time to give Waleska a chance to continue this work.

• Diversity of thought on the board
  • Some ideas were discussed for potential persons or persons-who-may-know-interested-individuals. Some names came up and they will be contacted.

Standing items for discussion:

• COVID response
• Membership check-in
• See-Click-Fix audit (tabled until annual hearing)
  • Annual hearing is not scheduled yet. Our corporate taxes are still pending
• Personnel check-in

New business

• Concern re: over-reliance on Facebook Watch
• Can we have regular finance committee meetings since we do not take the time to review finances in depth at the regular board meeting?
• Next meetings – Can we change to another day so that Al Williams will be able to join us again?
  • We will likely change to Thursdays.
